TEHRAN – The Iranian oil minister’s representative in the Peace Pipeline talks has rejected the claim of the Pakistani daily Business Recorder that Iran has reduced the gas transfer price to 78 percent of the crude oil price.

IRNA quoted Hojatollah Ghanimifard as saying on Monday that the two countries had no negotiations after their meeting in Tehran and the published news is not correct.
“It was agreed in the Tehran meeting that the two sides would take some time to study the issues and the Pakistani side would announce their final decision by January 29,” he added.
Business Recorder reported on January 16 that Iran had reduced the price of gas from 85 percent to 78 percent of the crude oil price under the still-to-be approved Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline deal
